The dive curves are good, but may not be as close as you would like. Run them at different depths and write it down on the box you will store them in. Or just get the dive chart and tape it to the box. As you get comfortable with them you can add as many different ones you want. Each crank has its own action, wobble, depth. Also to increase the learning curve timeline, I would recommend big water trolling book by Ross Robertson. It covers cranking (lead,mono,braid,snaps,boards,dipseys, and tadpoles) It also explains the inline weights for spinners and all points in between. Its a good read with great pics and a few stories from well accomplished anglers.Good luck!- - - Updated - - -If you are just starting with cranks I would recommend picking a lure and size (say a flicker shad #7) get the dive curve and start pulling them on a flat.
